AOC calls out ‘white men’ who voted against Juneteenth

Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out her House GOP colleagues who voted against establishing “Juneteenth” as a federal holiday.

“They were all men and they were all white. Like all white men. There weren’t even women. Like no diversity in it,” AOC told TMZ in an on-the-street interview on Capitol Hill.

“It just goes to show that there is a lot of denialism and that also kind of ties into why they don’t want us to teach the history of racism in our school either,” she added, taking a shot at statewide GOP efforts to curb critical race theory being taught in public schools.

Juneteenth marks the formal end of slavery in the United States and is the first new federal holiday in 40 years. Though there were 14 GOP defectors, the holiday vote unanimously passed the Senate and had overwhelming bipartisan support.

I see it becoming a day of rioting, violence, hatred. Everything the left touches turns to sh__.

“Like no diversity in it.” The speech pattern of a nitwit.

Late July could be American Astronauts Day, celebrating our technological achievements and the day Man first walked on the Moon - July 20, 1969.

Of course, those pushing the anti-white drumbeat won't want this.

“Anybody who voted for this were either short sighted or bandwagon cowards.”

John Cornyn certainly made himself look like a flaming idiot with regard to this.

I agree with AOC- Juneteenth should be celebrated with fireworks and parades- it's the anniversary of the day the two Marxist traitors Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed, for giving Nuclear Secrets to the Commies.

When will there be a Republican congressman that rips AOC to shreds? Attack her intelligence, her abilities, her thinking, her Marxism. She is the proxy to do this too for everyone on the left. She needs to be destroyed.

A lot of new holidays were created during the French Revolution too. The odd thing about Juneteenth is that the declaration was made by a white union general, Gordon Granger in Galveston, Tx. A trivial event in the civil war era. Juneteenth actually discounts the importance of the emancipation of the slaves by Lincoln and the passage of the 13th Amendment.

You won’t get a response out of Horseteeth.

She’s down at the border crying over a non-existent facility that cages minors.

The kindest thing I can say about AOC is that children should be seen and not heard,

someone should remind the ever-pompous and ignorant AOC that the Spaniards were big in the slave trade, plus they were big into conquering Indians.
